Popular Post Cpkt8 Posted August 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2014 That is too harsh for not submitting homework. That teacher should go for a meditation class for 2 weeks to de-stress. Handling so many children everyday can make one snap, sooner or later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DD13 Posted August 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) I would imagine that many of us in "our age group".......(wait for it)....... had "six of the best" in our time at school...... and it didn't do us much harm (especially on the hands) but that looks like a "beating".......and a teacher taking out his/her frustration......I don't especially agree with "meditation" for the teacher.....just a good "old fashioned rollicking".....and a reminder that these are somebodies kids......that they are in charge of So I feel sorry for this little chap But it is the parents job to make sure that homework is attended to......it is for the childs' own good long-term......maybe the Police should give them a gentle reminder of that fact.........and sort the teacher out Edited August 27, 2014 by DD13 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pookiki Posted August 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2014 The kid is only 9 years old for Christ's sake. He didn't misbehave in class, he just missed a homework assignment. This would clearly be assault and battery if it occurred outside the school's premises. Why should the offense be lessened just because a person entrusted with the children's physical and mental well-being extracted the punishment? The teacher should be fired and charged with the appropriate criminal offense. 62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Basil B Posted August 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2014 There was a similar thread on the main Pattaya site only two or three months ago. As I understand it, it is illegal for teachers to do this, I hope the teacher is charged and gets proper justice, to me that is punishment from the courts and barred from working with young children for life. Well with photos like this in the public media the police can not ignore it and lets hope tomorrows photos are of the kid pointing at his teacher in the cop shop. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it right to cane a boy for forgetting his homework? Hardly a tearaway from the report and a little on the young side. Birching thugs and wanton criminals is one thing. Allowing head teachers the right to administer corporal punishment for serious offences is debatable. Allowing an Art teacher to do something like this to a child of that age is reprehensible and hopefully, with their new found vigor the RTP will actually enforce the law that prohibits this in Thai schools. Most of the few real yobs and louts I knew in my youth were caned at some point. Never made the slightest difference to them. The real problem with these was the parents, who were either louts themselves or simply didn't care. Can you see the differences or simply don;t care as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asiantravel Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) My god that is a ridiculous level of the punishment based on what the poor little guy did and his age. That was a very severe beating. I'm not saying the teacher shouldn't have made the point physically but even when I was at school (which was a long time ago) the standards were strict but we never suffered that kind of physical abuse just for forgetting home work. And it would have been the headmaster that administered the punishment. For this kind of “ misbehaviour “ we would have had no more than a single rap across the knuckles with a ruler which the teacher humorously referred to as “ the Board of Education “ Edited August 27, 2014 by Asiantravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right, cause there was no bad behaviour back then I suppose. There have always been and will always be "tearaways". It is also quite well documented now that violence does not improve behaviour as you can see from the link below. Hitting kids doesn't work, we know better then that now, it's only dinosaurs that hold onto this belief. The child in this Post looks to have been abused and assaulted. The teacher should be fired (particularly as he showed no remorse) and criminal charges should be bought against him. In short he should never be able to work with children again if this is how he behaves.. http://www.nspcc.org.uk/help-and-advice/for-parents/positive-parenting-tips/encouraging-better-behaviour/better-behaviour_wda96810.html 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope your sister knows more about education than you do then. Or is it school dinners? And what exactly is your qualifications and experience in education and the teaching profession?

Well I don't want to see it revert to the way it was when I was at school, I would like to think there is a happy median somewhere. What I would like to see is arrogant yobs given a spell of corporal punishment to lower their self esteem a notch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post goatfarmer Posted August 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2014 Plaudits to the parent for reporting the matter to the police. Child abuse at schools only persists because it is tolerated by parents. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
